The proposals seek to construct a single storey side extension, which includes the conversion of the existing garage, to provide additional living space at the above-mentioned property. The Local Highway Authority (LHA) would not wish to raise any in-principle objections to the proposed development.

Whilst the conversion of the garage could be considered as a loss of off-street parking provision at the site, it is noted that, due to its insufficient length, the LHA did not consider the garage as a contribution to off-street parking provision at the property when consulted on its construction under application 14/02066/FUL.

The proposed side extension does result in the existing hardstand being shortened in length by approximately 3 metres on the section adjacent to the eastern elevation, however the remaining hardstanding is still large enough to accommodate off-street parking for 2x cars.

For these reasons the LHA would not raise any objections to the proposed development.


Recommendations:

No objection X
No objection subject to appropriate mitigation (as identified below)

The proposed development has been considered in accordance with the Councils current Development Plan Policies and having regard for the National Planning Policy Framework.
